AB  - The purpose of this study was to assess morphological and quantitative changes of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and cartilage after ACL repair.7T MRI of the knee was acquired in 31 patients 1.5 years after ACL repair and in 13 controls. Proton density-weighted images with fat saturation (PD-fs) were acquired to assess ACL width, signal intensity, elongation, and fraying. T2/T2* mapping was performed for assessment of ACL and cartilage. Segmentation of the ACL, femoral, and tibial cartilage was carried out at 12 ROIs. The outcome evaluation consisted of the Lysholm Knee Score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score and clinical examination.ACL showed a normal signal intensity in 96.8
